Being state-owned, we are working on driving the climate ambition, and we have a mandate to work towards establishing a storage pilot for CO₂ in Stenlille and use any learnings and findings to support the development of a commercial CCS market. It is our perception that we can be a strong partner in the development of onshore CO₂ storage in Denmark.

In anticipation of the upcoming Danish tender for onshore CO₂ storage licenses, GSD has initiated the process of exploring how we can best serve to promote the development, implementation, and operation of onshore CO₂ storage facilities across such licenses. We call for collaboration on supporting any partner, on non-exclusive terms, in developing CCS onshore storage facilities in Denmark.

GSD therefore invites all market participants with an interest in collaboration to submit a statement of interest to this e-mail: svh@gasstorage.dk. All inquiries will be treated with confidentiality.

Our CO₂-project in Stenlille is known under the name CO₂RYLUS and due to continuous investigation of the reservoir the expectations to the capacity have been adjusted from the initial 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ to the current expectation of a minimum capacity of 10 million tonnes. 

Why Stenlille?

Gas Storage Denmark has 30+ years experience of underground storage in Stenlille due to the existing methane gas storage facility. Thus, we hold a deep insight of the underground, and thorough experience with safety, monitoring, communiation and good relations with the local community. 

Further, the existing infrastructure and organisation enables a relatively fast establishment of large-scale operation of the CO₂-storage. 

Finally, an important factor in establishing a CO₂ storage adjacent to the existing methane storage operation in Stenlille is the acceleration factor. With this project, Gas Storage Denmark seek to actively work together with the partners in the industry to reduce risks, optimise setup and improve the timelines for CCS projects in Denmark in general. 

The project intents to create a platform for innovation and acceleration of the CCS technology in Denmark. The platform will be used to disseminate and share technical reservoir knowledge as well as experience with early industry standards in the integrated value chain “from chimney to underground” to promote accelerated development of the industry.
Specifically for this purpose Gas Storage Denmark is hosting and contributing actively to a number of research projects under the Innomission framework in collaboration with universities and others.
